Homework policies
Problem sets are due every Thursday at 5 pm; please deposit assignments in the PHYS427 mailbox on the 2nd floor.
A few words on our grading scale for problem sets. Every part of a problem is worth 3 points in total (e.g. a three-part problem would be worth 9 points total) and will be scored as follows:
3: perfect solution, devoid of conceptual or technical errors
2.5: solution is conceptually correct, but contains minor mathematical errors (signs, numerical factors, etc.)
2: solution contains minor conceptual errors or larger mathematical errors, but makes good progress towards the correct answer
1: solution contains major conceptual errors and does not make meaningful progress towards the correct answer
0: no attempt at solution
